Hi there.
If I enter a raffle that sells 260000 tickets, that has 14 winning prizes, what are the odds of me winning twice?

Hello D666. If this is schoolwork, then share what you've tried or thought about so far. Thank you.

Either way, please provide the rules and regulations of the raffle.

In the event that multiple ticket purchases are required to win multiple prizes, then please also provide the number of tickets you purchase.

[imath]\text{Odds}=\dfrac{\#\text{wins}}{\#\text{losts}}[/imath]
With [imath]260,000\text{ tickets sold }~\&~[/imath] only [imath]14[/imath] prizes, there are [imath]91[/imath] winning pairs of tickets out of [imath]3379998700000[/imath] tickets-pairs sold.
What are the odds?
